Electrify America to more than double its EV charging network by 2025
Expanding current network in the U.S. and Canada to more than 1,800 charging stations and over 10,000 individual chargers.
Electrify America announced its ‘Boost Plan’ to more than double its current electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in the United States and Canada, with plans to have more than 1,800 fast charging stations and 10,000 individual chargers installed by the end of 2025. The expansion will increase the deployment of 150 and 350 kilowatt chargers.
The announcement expands Electrify America’s previous commitment to invest $2 billion over 10 years in Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure, education, and access in the U.S. The ‘Boost Plan’ is part of a global announcement by the parent company Volkswagen Group to substantially increase public charging infrastructure in North America, Asia and Europe.
In the United States, the company plans to have about 800 charging stations and approximately 3,500 individual chargers in the U.S. by the end of 2021 and will increase the total number of charging stations to more than 1,700 and 9,500 individual chargers by the end of 2025. Once completed, Electrify America will be active in 49 US states and the District of Columbia.
In Canada, the plan foresees to increase its current network of 32 stations to more than 100 charging locations and 500 chargers over the next 4.5 years, bringing Electrify Canada’s presence to nine provinces in the country.
“We are making this commitment to support the plans by major automakers and the U.S. and Canadian governments to help the transformation to an electric mobility transportation system,” said Giovanni Palazzo, president and chief executive officer, Electrify America.
